Newton Farms Catering

I had a second meeting today with Francesca of Newton Farms Catering. I am becoming a huge fan. Not only does she really know her stuff, she is also fun, passionate, and extremely helpful. It also helps that their food is fresh and usually local and their staff is excellent. Take a look at Newton Farms before deciding on your reception caterer.

Happy Planning!

Riviera Chic

Emily and Neal were married in a beautiful ceremony at Trinity United Methodist Church. Emily and Neal are a lovely couple - the number of friends in their bridal party is proof alone. An elegant and fun reception followed at the Riviera Theater. This was my first event at the Riviera and I hope it's not my last. I loved the venue, the staff, and of course the food.

Emily and Neal chose lots of great vendors to make their big day go so smoothly:

Cake - d'lish Desserts
Floral and Design - Bloom at Charleston Place
Ceremony Music - Bob Williams Duo
Reception Music - Soul Function
Transportation - Palmetto Carriage Company and Charleston Black Cab Company
Hair and Makeup - Allure Salon
Accommodations - Charleston Place Hotel
and of course the lovely Emily Horton for photographing Emily and Neal's special day and sharing her work with us!'

A big congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Neil Horton!

Tea Chic

I love this couple! I met Stefanie and JP through my good friend, Kristen. Kristen and JP work together and she knew we would be a great fit. Stefanie and JP are a lot of what I am not - laid back, cool, etc. We were a great balance for each other. Stefanie hired me to take over the planning of her wedding ten days out and that is exactly what I did.

Some of my favorite parts of their wedding day were:

1. the venue - the Charleston Tea Plantation was a great spot for this special couple. the venue was unique to both locals and out-of-towners alike and proved to be the perfect back-drop for their simply chic decor.

2. the band - the couple hired a local rag time band that kept the dance floor packed all night.

3. Stefanie and JP.

You can see more of Stefanie and JP's AMAZING wedding pictures on our Facebook page. A big thank you to Stefanie and JP's photographer, Nadia, for sharing her gorgeous work!

Carmen Ash Photography

I really enjoyed meeting with Carmen of Carmen Ash Photography today. She and I had a chance to talk about how we can work together to continue to make Brides all over the Lowcountry have perfect wedding days. I loved Carmen's enthusiasm for her work and her adorable two dogs. You can see more of Carmen on her website.

Happy Planning!
